United States v. Nestor, No. 11-2559 (3d Cir. 2012)
Annotate this Case
Following a violent, racially-motivated fight among teenagers in a park, one person died. The mother of a participant was dating a police officer and the district attorney took over the investigation, believing there was a cover-up. The FBI became involved and officers were convicted of knowingly falsifying police reports with intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation into a matter within the jurisdiction of the FBI, 18 U.S.C. 1519 and knowingly making a false material statement in a matter within FBI jurisdiction, 18 U.S.C. 1001. The Third Circuit affirmed, finding sufficient evidence to support the convictions and rejecting a challenge to section 1519 as unconstitutionally vague.
